Jigsor 176 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) @OutbreakDV, Sure, I'm always interested in what things others have changed/added to enhance gameplay. @Kirby Great questions. These are fairly easy edits. In INS_definitions.sqf under // Player class types add array of pilot classes. INS_PlayerPilot = ["B_Pilot_F","B_Helipilot_F"];// can fly aircraft Below is a working edit of init_player.sqf from v1.42_Kunduz with changes as an example for you. Note the only differences from map to map in init_player.sqf are the flag pole scroll action options for teleport to Dock or Airfield begining at line 53. Line 69 commented to remove manual save because automatic save loop will over ride this option. //INS_Wep_box addAction ["<t color=#ff9207'>Save Loadout</t>", "scripts\get_loadout.sqf",nil,1, false, true, "", "side _this != EAST]; Change made beginning with line 129 to save loadout every four seconds instead of manual save. These changes only affect Blufor players. Similar edit will need to be made at line 122 to affect Opfor players for loadout. Addition made beginning at line 222 to restrict pilot seat. // init_player.sqf by Jigsor if (isNil "oamarker") then {oamarker = [];};//air patrole center marker "oamarker" addPublicVariableEventHandler {call compile format ["%1",_this select 1]};

Flying-Coyotus 12 Posted May 8, 2015 Hello, Thanks a lot for the job! It's a great and very complete ! :) Do you know how to see all classname in the Virtual Arsenal ? It seems I dont see some weapons. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirby 2 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks, Jigsor! I'll try it out as soon as I can get the opportunity. I already swapped out a couple of units for pilots in the mission our server is hosting. I also discovered the quick revive functions acceptably as you don't "die" when you go unconscious, so you keep the gear you went down with. I don't mind having people save the loadout for full on base respawn, it was just the reverting upon going down that was odd. However the auto save feature could be handy. Edit: The Kunduz 1.42 version of the map appears to cause a regular stutter/freeze when I run it on a client host when testing. This is prior to implementing the pilot restrict (I only plan on putting that on the public/altis/no mods version we're running). I tried it with different OPFOR choices and parameters and it still ran with steady freezes every few seconds. Edited May 9, 2015 by Kirby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying-Coyotus 12 Posted May 9, 2015 Hello, I noticed too that on DS with Altis map, that MHQ_1 to MHQ_3 are renamed to "vehicle_15" 16 and 21. I checked the editor, they are correctly name to MHQ_1 to 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsor 176 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Thank You flyingcoyotus, There is no weapon filtering , blacklisting or white listing etcetera of Virtual Arsenal implemented in this mission. You should have access to all weapons. Maybe possible that a mod is interfering or you are missing a weapon mod another player or the server is running, or you have someone elses edited version? Screen shot of me joining game in progress on dedicated server running v1.42.Altis. MHQ marker working fine here. I've never seen that problem before. In your screenie you are running v_1.08. I never released an Altis version with that number. Altis began with version v1.32alpha, then v1.4 and v1.42 stable. @Kirby, I to have noticed this frame drop every few seconds server side at mission start. I haven't been able to pin point the cause of this. It is strange because it only happens on Kunduz Island and scripts are the same as other Islands. After all scripts initialize and tasks, then cache/intel spawned coincidentally, the server quits this behavior and a constant steady frame rate begins and actually is faster than all other ports. I had suspected it may be due to Kunduz terrain somehow but can only somewhat speculate. Looking at .rpt log after frame rate settles, I find these as the last entries which I believe are certainly Kunduz terrain related. 12:35:58 Unknown entity: ' NonovUrbizniz ' 12:36:06 Error: PhysX 32: ConvexHullBuilder::CreateTrianglesFromPolygons: convex hull has a polygon with less than 3 vertices!, file ..\..\PhysXCooking\src\convex\ConvexHullBuilder.cpp, line 1116 12:36:06 Error: PhysX 32: Gu::ConvexMesh::loadConvexHull: convex hull init failed!

Flying-Coyotus 12 Posted May 11, 2015 Thank You flyingcoyotus,MHQ marker working fine here. I've never seen that problem before. In your screenie you are running v_1.08. I never released an Altis version with that number. Altis began with version v1.32alpha, then v1.4 and v1.42 stable. Hello, I made different test with/without mods. I noticed that's the @Alive Server mod which poses problem. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23684 So for people who use @Alive server for other missions, don't forget to disable it ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirby 2 Posted May 12, 2015 That's peculiar. I left it for about 10/15 minutes and it was still stuttering hosting on my PC but we haven't got around to tested it on the dedi, so I may not have left it long enough to fully initialise on my PC. The Altis mission runs fine, as does the pilot restrict so we've been focussing on keeping that going for public players so thanks for that. The server owner did report that the delivery mission has appeared to cause the server to crash or nearly crash a couple of times but it seems to be a rare occurance and I'm not sure if it's just ARMA related rather than mission related, and I haven't seen it myself. I'm getting him to take a look at the RPT log. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noc1337 1 Posted May 13, 2015 Hi Jigsor, are there any plans to implement ACE3 in your Mission? If not, you´re okay with it if i do so? ;-) BR Noc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jus61 54 Posted May 14, 2015 Can anyone tell me how I can integrate the ACE 3 ( http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28557 ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsor 176 Posted May 15, 2015 I will not integrate AGM. The AGM team have discontinued AGM and have integrated with ACE3 team. ACE_3 is new so I'm not familiar with it. I'll investigate integrating it into this mission soon, However if aspects require module placement then ACE mod will not be optional and an ACE only version may be required to build. I am currently working on a FSF Al Rayak version and already have the grid built. Looking into a Bornholm version aswell. If no surprises or performance issues then they will be included in mission pack of next version. AccuracyThruVolume's Iraqi-Syrian Conflict will be integrated in next version as an alternative to @MEC mod combination because it seams MEC mod has been discontinued and pulled from Armaholic and PWS No promises on when next version or if ACE support is introduced at this point so feel free to add it your self if you like.

houbob03 10 Posted May 18, 2015 Hey All! - Loving the BMR Insurgency on N'Ziwasogo! Like playing a modern day Vietnam scenario. I did have a couple of things to pass on. Still occasional chopper blow up on entry. I did wonder if there was a way to bring recruited troops at main base on a halo jump with me, or if i transport to remote MHQ from base and have troops, anyway to get them to come along with me? Right now i just grab some troops and head to a chopper! haha Thanks Jigsor!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsor 176 Posted May 18, 2015 Common BIS please fix this exploding chopper issue. This bug has been here since A3 alpha. It doesn't seem to be mission/mission type or even script specific. I've screwed with trying to script work around to circumvent this and though now it's not as bad as it used to be, it still happens. Its so random and is hard to consistently reproduce though one consistency is it happens on dedicated servers. I'm up to my wits end with this issue. Please up vote fix to this problem here. If anyone has found work around for this, please share. I've got no elegant solution for A.I. halo at this point. Other news: Successfully tested some new stuff this weekend on an alpha Kunduz test build. Save Loadout action's script has been replaced with native arsenal functions and seems to successfully save all backpack contents. This currently is not really a big issue, but have found that some backpack things will not save when using ACE so this back end update will be in next version as well as the new BIS group manager. Can't say I will be releasing an ACE only version at this point. Lots of work ahead if or before that happens, but at least I'm trying to make some features more compatible with ACE.

BTDKVega 10 Posted May 25, 2015 Looking into a Bornholm version aswell. If no surprises or performance issues then they will be included in mission pack of next version. I made a fast copy of your (sorry) Takistan zones and units and copied them into the Bornholm map. Distributes the zones all over without really changing or looking into what the different zones were set to spawn. Worked fine except one mission marker. It autofails. I think I havent left enough room for units to spawn. Played it for an hour with a friend. Should go fine! :) I thought you would make a finished Bornholm so didn't do more about it.

Jigsor 176 Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah, there will be a Bornholm version coming up. Just hope my computer can cope, if not, hope you enjoy.
